'Jesus the Jewish Theologian' discusses Jesus within the context of first-century Judaism and demonstrates how appreciating Jesus' Jewishness is integral - both for interpreting the New Testament - and for understanding the Christian faith. Passages from Jewish literature, archeology, and tradition help modern readers place Jesus within his original context. The book acutely focuses on the Jewish roots of Jesus' teaching concerning the kingdom of God.

The foreword is written by Marvin R. Wilson and Rabbi David Wolpe.

Brad H. Young (PhD, Hebrew University) has also written 'Jesus and His Jewish Parables' and 'The Jewish Background to the Lord's Prayer.' Additionally, he is the president and founder of the Gospel Research Foundation, which is committed to exploring the Jewish roots of the Christian faith.
